When Zhang Lingyue and Liu Shihao returned to the main house, the newlyweds were already serving tea to the elders of the Tang family.

"Dad, Mom, please have some tea~"

As soon as Zhang Lingyue stood still in the crowd, she heard Jiang Kaichen's slightly excited voice recognizing her.

She was a little dazed. She had never seen this man so excited before.

She searched desperately in her memory. She didn't remember when she helped him regain the entire Zhu family, when she rescued him when he was in danger, and when she made hundreds of millions of profits for him.

She blinked and felt that she didn't recognize the man kneeling there, even though he looked more spirited and contented than she had ever seen him before.

"Get up, get up, my son, you have finally become part of my family!"

Zhuang Mei, who was sitting in the upper seat, was obviously a little out of control. She wanted to hug Jiang Kaichen on the ground in her arms without waiting for Old Master Tang to say anything.

Ever since she learned about Jiang Kaichen's true background, she has always treated this best friend's child as her own son.

Today, seeing people missing their relatives, I was overwhelmed with emotion. For a moment, I even forgot the loss of marrying off my daughter. My heart was filled with satisfaction that I could finally fulfill my promise to entrust my child to someone else.

"Cough! Cough cough~"

Seeing that his wife was about to lose control of the topic, Old Master Tang, who hadn't even had his tea yet, finally couldn't help but speak up.

"It's not customary for our family to give red envelopes with a changed name, and we know you don't lack that worldly wealth. Since we are a family from today on, I will pass this painting of the head of the family to you. You and our family have a connection through a painting, and we will use the painting to complete this connection."

The old man took the tea offered by Jiang Kaichen and signaled the waiter behind him to present the ancient painting that had been prepared long ago.

Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, the waiter carefully unfolded the scroll, and a beautiful ink painting came into view. This painting, in the freehand style of traditional Chinese painting, showed the superb skills of the painters in the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Peach and Bamboo Painting!"

As old man Zhang Yunlin exclaimed in surprise, everyone became even more curious about the painting.

In the picture, a tall peach tree is rooted in the ground, and its lush branches and leaves set off the dense peach blossoms blooming on the branches, bright red like fire. The scattered petals lightly fall on the ground, as if trying to light up the entire picture.

Next to the peach trees, there are straight bamboos standing upright. These bamboos are towering into the sky, straight and upright, giving people an impression of fortitude and tenacity.

Obviously, the peach tree in the painting represents the beauty of women, implying tenderness and harvest, while the bamboo symbolizes the ambition of men, embodying tenacity and nobility. The two together form a harmonious yin-yang harmony of hardness and softness.

"This is a painting by Tang Hu, the ancestor of the Tang family and a famous painter in the Northern Song Dynasty. This painting was originally created to celebrate the royal wedding."

Amidst everyone's shock, Mr. Tang gave Zhang Yunlin a look that showed he was an expert on something, and introduced the origin of the painting with a bit of pride.

"You have your pride, and my Wanwan has her own character. I hope that your future life can be like the combination of peach and bamboo in this painting, and you can find your own balance, know each other, stay together, and live side by side."

Mr. Tang signaled the waiter to hand the painting to Jiang Kaichen, his eyes filled with deep entrustment.

Even though he had handled many priceless works of art, Jiang Kaichen had never felt as stressed as he did today.

He took the painting in both hands and looked up at the elders sitting upstairs. He knew that what the Tang family gave him was not this famous painting, but the attitude of the entire family towards Tang Wenwan, who was as precious as a treasure, and the expectation that he could treat their baby well.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I will definitely hold Wanwan in my hands like you do."

Jiang Kaichen remained kneeling, looking up to express his attitude, his face full of seriousness, allowing everyone to witness his seriousness.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and get up. We're so close anyway. Wanwan can come back anytime if she's unhappy. This time, going to my mother's house is no different from visiting relatives."

Without waiting for the elders to speak, Tang Wensong couldn't wait to pull people over.

He pulled Jiang Kaichen up from the ground, not caring at all that the people around him wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and that Jiang Kaichen looked embarrassed.

"Only you can talk!"

Fortunately, the silent awkwardness of the crowd only lasted for a second before being broken by the excited Sophia. She pushed Tang Wensong away, surrounded Tang Wenwan and greeted happily:

"Is it time for the bride to ride in the big sedan chair? I have never seen a bride ride in a big sedan chair before. The bride should ride in the big sedan chair!"

"That's right, the auspicious time has come, we can go out now!"

Zhuang Mei slapped her son hard for talking nonsense, and quickly went along with Sophia to ease the atmosphere. Amid the laughter of the crowd, she walked to Tang Wenwan, supported her arm, and walked out together.

When they went out, everyone noticed that there was a long red wedding carpet stretching for dozens of miles, directly from the Tang family’s front door to Jiang Kaichen’s new house.

Outside the Tang family’s door, eight handsome and mighty sedan bearers, holding the sedan poles, had already been waiting on the red carpet.

They were dressed in wedding clothes, with red feathers on their heads, and their bodies were strong and robust. Amid the cheers of the crowd, they stood around the bridal sedan with smiles on their faces, waiting for the bride to get on.

As everyone approached, a strong scent of ancient wood filled their noses.

Only then did everyone realize that this sedan was actually made of rare and precious red sandalwood, the body of the sedan was carved with golden dragon and phoenix patterns, and even the red satin on the door was embellished with jade bead pendants strung with gold thread.

"Wow, this is also an antique!"

Before Sophia could finish her admiration, the joyful sounds of gongs, drums and firecrackers began one after another. Amid the roar of joy, Jiang Kaichen carefully helped Tang Wenwan into the bridal sedan.

After carefully helping the bride to tidy up her phoenix crown and robe again, he entered the bridal sedan and sat next to Tang Wenwan with a smile on his face.

"Get up the sedan!"

At a command from Guan Ben Liangxiong, the bearers worked together to lift the poles and slowly lifted the sedan off the ground along the red carpet covered with flower petals.

Accompanied by the sounds of gongs, drums and firecrackers, a festive dragon dance team led the bridal sedan and slowly walked towards the bridal chamber as the Tang family watched.

Cheers, blessings, and firecrackers mixed together, and the entire area was unprecedentedly excited because of this wedding.

The sedan chair moved slowly forward. Tang Wenwan saw familiar smiling faces close at hand through the window. She felt so touched that she had never experienced in two lifetimes.

Jiang Kaichen looked at the throbbing in her eyes and seemed to be infected as he stroked her hand gently. The warmth from his palm seemed to be telling her the love and promise that had never been expressed to her.

Finally, the sedan chair arrived at the bridal chamber. Accompanied by festive music, the bearers slowly and orderly lowered the sedan chair to the ground. Tang Wenwan and Jiang Kaichen walked out of the sedan chair together. As soon as they stepped out of the sedan door, they saw Old Master Zhu standing at the gate of the bridal chamber waiting for them.
